I've inserted this page so we in Virginia can take a more critical look at literature meant for children. The "WE" I'm speaking of includes both adults and children.

• REVIEW BOOKS FOR TEACHERS.
  • This site offers teachers the opportunity to receive "free" copies of the most current publications meant for PreK - 6 language arts and children's literature instruction. Actually, the copies aren't free; in exchange for the book, you'll need to write a review that lets other teachers know what you think about the usefulness of the text you've reviewed.
  • To be considered as a text reviewer, please e-mail me at lbs5z@virginia.edu 

   

• REVIEW WHAT'S NEW IN CHILDREN'S LITERATURE
  • If you click on the link below, you'll arrive at the What's New Page in the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Cooperative Children's Book Center. Each week, a different children's book is extensively reviewed. Click on Book of the Week (or take some time to browse the many exciting things going on at CCBC).

  BOOK OF THE WEEK

  • If you click on the picture, you'll find yourself at Amazon.com's address for the CCBC book so that you can order a copy if you'd like.
  • You can also send in a review of any book that you think other teachers absolutely MUST read.

    OR

• HAVE YOUR STUDENTS SUBMIT THEIR BOOK REVIEWS
